Course cards in the Canvas Dashboard can be uniquely customized by a user and does not reflect towards others enrolled in the same course. Aside from choosing which courses to display, Canvas allows users to freely move their course cards on their Dashboard to any viewing order they please. However, once users arrange their course cards, they cannot revert the display back to the defaulted order (“ alphabetically by course name and your role in the course - Canvas”).
Extra points, or credit, can be allotted to a student’s grade box on an assignment when needed. Please communicate grade calculations to students when this is performed to avoid final grade confusion.

Some instructors use peer review as a way to initiate student-to-student interaction, and as a way to improve student work. You can allow students to review and provide feedback on another student's online work in Canvas. Peer review allows communication between students and can help students master the concepts of a course and learn from each other.
